Uber driver Fredrick Mungai Njenga, 33, was released on Ksh.50,000 cash bail after a magistrate questioned the charge sheet in a case of alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy in Nyali, Mombasa.
Senior Resident Magistrate Yusuf Shikanda told the prosecution to rewrite the charge sheet, stating, “According to law it is not “indecent act” since mouth is not a genital organ. Get a proper charge.”
The suspect is accused of locking the class 8 pupil inside his taxi and forcing him into oral sex on July 15 at Bombolulu area.
The boy's mother reported the incident after the boy narrated what had happened to his parents.
Police officers tracked Njenga's phone signal and arrested him at Nyali Mall on Tuesday.
The boy was examined at Coast General Hospital and discharged.
